Robert Fripp and Brian Eno

Ok I promise I'm going to start posting stuff other than what I've been listening to lately but I had to include this one after the same acquaintance that led me to the last album that I just posted brought my attention to this too. I guess this shows what little I know, King Crimson guitarist/band leader/mastermind Robert Fripp did not one, but two albums with legendary producer and ambient music aurhority Brian Eno. One was more recent from what I understand, but then I stumbled upon this album: Evening Star which apparently came out back in 1975. To say that this was ahead of it's time would be an understatement. This is ambient music for the true ambient music fan though, the normal cursory reaction to this kind of record is the old "this would be good to fall asleep to" line that I hate, personally I think it's much more than that but be warned that this one is not for short attention spans. Fripp is simply an unsung genius and I'm sure there's much more out there that he's done that I don't know anout.

 

Speaking of good ambient music, Eluvium just posted a new track from their upcoming album, you should listen to it here:
